I heard so many great things about this place.  All of the staff there is very nice and welcoming. I had went to Leena to get my first tattoo and the outcome of it was just absolutely AMAZING!  I would recommend anyone going there. Plus the prices are very affordable. Definitely give Big City Tattoo a chance, you won't regret it !! Read Less

Currently waiting in this “fine” establishment, 40 mins waiting so far and no one has approached us or asked what services we would like to get. I walked in at 11:00PM and and it is now 11:47PM. As you can their timing is off, very unprofessional, and it appears that there is only one tattoo artist. I heard good reviews from this place but so far this is by far the worst service I’ve received. I do not recommend. Read Less

Malik was so great to me and my bf. I had to get some dermal piercings removed and he made me feel so relaxed and calm. He was easy to talk to and informed me on how to properly take care of them and how he was going to go about removing them. I almost didn't go to the shop because of the parking but I am so happy I ended up going. Thanks again :) Read Less

Walked in and there was some dude asleep in the front. Not sure if he worked there, but he took one look at us and went right back to his nap. We waited around for a bit but no one came out to help us. Not a good first impression so we left. Read Less

I just visited the shop and had an urge to write a review. I went to get a second ear piercing and Malik was very easy to work with. He is detail oriented and did an excellent job making sure we had the placement just right. Thank you for your great service! :D Also - the price is fantastic (Especially for us college students).

Casey was our artist. This is my second tattoo from him and my son's third. This time we did it together. He was great! Nice atmosphere, super friendly & very professional! I'm sure my son will be going back for #4. If I were to get more I'd definitely go to him again! Read Less

I'm disappointed with the tattoo I got here. It was a pretty simple tattoo so I figured the "artist" would be able to do it no problem. However, immediately after getting the tattoo the ink bled making it look cloudy/blurry. The guy was obviously didn't know what he was doing because upon further investigation, it turns out I am victim of a "blow out". I texted him the next day and got no response. This was my first tattoo and it turned out to be a terrible experience. Don't go here!! There are much better places in the city. Read Less

My friend and I came here for our tattoos. I was only getting a finger tattoo that would take 5 minutes, hers however would take at least 2 hours. We were walk-ins and we came around 8PM, instead of telling us how many tattoos were ahead of us for 1 guy, he made us wait 6 hours only to tell us to come back in the morning.Read Less

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE BIG CITY TATTOO TEAM! I've been tatted by almost everyone in there. Both the work & customer service are Always Amazing! Love'EM!! Leena is officially my Family Artist/Therapist ����� Read Less

I recently visited the shop with my daughter on the 2 yr anniversary of my mothers passing. My daughter wanted to get something special to honor my mother(her Nana)she picked something she'd found online. Eli wanted to tweak it a little so she something original. What he did was so much more beautiful than the one she'd originally choose. He took his time, put a lot of effort & it truly felt like he was tattooing her with love & compassion. It was a very emotional thing for my daughter & I & he made even more special with his words of encouragement & empathy. It's her 1st tattoo & he kept telling her how great she was doing & that he was proud of her. She was scared & he made her calm & comfortable. It was so nice to sit & talk while he tattooed the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. He was able to take my mothers actual handwriting & put it on her. For her & I both to be able to look at that & see her actual handwriting is going to comfort us for many years to come. I plan on going back to get my own tattoo to honor & remember my mom. I hope you are able to read this Eli(& also the woman who was there also...I can't remember her name)you both wer very encouraging & kind. I can't wait to go back. We drove from Buffalo NY & I can honestly say I would gladly make that drive again. I'd drive 6 hrs if I had to. Again thank you both for making that experience so special for us. Read Less

I love love love this place. For the past 3 years I have been coming to Casey here for all of my tattoos! He is very professional and honest if it's color you want that may not work with your skin complexion. He will definitely tell you!!I will definitely be back next month for my next tattoo from him. He's done about 6 of mine already. Read Less

We found this place on Google. The area around it is a little run down. This place is great. Casey is the fucking champ. He took our ideas and had mock ups quickly. My friend got an outline and filled it in. Looked great. My other friend got an outline. It took no time and looked great. I got an outline which hurt like a bitch because me and pain don't get along.I think this place is great. They have good service and good pricing. I would recommend getting a tattoo here. Read Less

With leenaink running the show, this is by far the best shop in the city in my opinion. I've been getting tattooed for 7 years now and no one comes close. They bring artistic talent, a family atmosphere, and unbeatable prices. Check it out, I'm tatted up in a recession! Read Less
